ANDY'S BOOKS FOR KIDS

​Kids’ Quotes

“I want to thank you for giving me the Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library. I normally never like reading because I can’t find a book I like. The only time I would read is if I had to. But with this book I wanted to read! The book was exciting and you never knew what was going to happen next. We are so lucky that you gave us these books. Thank you so much!”

​“Thank you so much for the wonderful book, each and every night me and my mom sit down and read and laugh and I will never forget that thanks to you!

“I am so extremely thankful for all the books you’ve given us. I can’t express how much the students at Olson Park love you. I’ve been reading your books since second grade. If I am having a rough day I can sit down and read the books all the time. Thank you sooooo much for all you have done for us. “Once you learn how to do this you will be forever free! Answer: READ.”
